BACKGROUND Field

The present application relates to, but is not limited to, the field of wireless communication technologies and, in particular, to a transmission configuration method, a transmission configuration determination method, a base station, a terminal and a computer storage medium.

Description of the Related Technology

In a wireless communication system, a base station and a terminal may use multiple antennas for transmission to obtain higher sending rate and receiving rate. One principle of the multi-antenna technology is to utilize some of channel characteristics to perform beamforming to achieve sending and receiving that match the channel characteristics. The signal has high radiation direction. This can improve the system performance effectively and improve the communication performance significantly without increasing bandwidth and power consumption. Therefore, the multi-antenna technology is a promising technology widely used in current communication systems. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the beamforming technology. As shown in FIG. 1, at the base station, signals processed by radio frequency (RF) paths are sent to a transmitting antenna array. This transmitting antenna array is composed of array elements. A directional beam is generated by the array elements of the transmitting antenna array through the beamforming technology. After reflected by a reflecting surface, the directional beam is received by the terminal. The receiving antenna array of the terminal is composed of array elements. The signals, which are received by the receiving antenna array, pass through splitters and phase shifters, and are sent to RF paths for further processing.

Beamforming is achieved by precoding. A beam may be formed in a feature space or a physical space by precoding. The precoding may include two parts: baseband precoding corresponding to a base beam and RF precoding corresponding to an RF beam. The baseband processing primarily acts on a baseband path. The RF processing primarily acts on the oscillator of an RF path. The baseband processing is done on a baseband and the RF processing is done on a radio frequency. The beam here may be a baseband beam, an RF beam or a combination thereof.

In the case where a large-scale antenna is deployed on the base station, in view of high channel dimensions and coexistence of RF precoding and baseband precoding, measurement feedback and transmission in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system may be implemented by means of beam information measurement feedback. The beam information measurement feedback, that is, a beam training process, includes the followings.

The base station sends beam pilots in different directions; and notifies the terminal of configuration information.

The terminal measures the reception quality of the beam pilots and feeds back pilots of high reception quality to the base station.

The base station transmits data by using the precoding corresponding to the received pilots of high reception quality.

Here the base station continues to send beams with a narrower bandwidth within the coverage of the selected beams, and the terminal performs selection from the received beams. This refines beams. The base station obtains more accurate beam direction information through feedback from the terminal. These beam training may be performed multiple times.

Alternatively, the base station may send more pilot signals on the basis of the beams reported by the terminal. These pilot signals are used for measuring interference between beams or optimal weighting and combination parameters between beams. The weighting processes are typically performed on the baseband to obtain a larger combination gain. In fact, they may also be regarded as more accurate beams (beams in the feature space).

After acquiring the information on beam selection, the base station may use the selected beams to perform downlink transmission. If Channel State Information (CSI) may be further obtained, the transmission performance can be improved more effectively.

For an uplink transmission process, if reciprocity exists, when the terminal selects the best transmit beam, if a same beam is transmitted multiple times, the terminal tries to receive by using multiple different beams. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating reception of beams on a terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal may scan M transmit beams (that is, a transmit beam 1, a transmit beam 2, . . . , a transmit beam M) by using a beam scan block 1, a beam scan block 2, . . . , a beam scan block M. M is an integer greater than one. Beam scan block 1 through beam scan block M correspond to receive beam 1 to receive beam M respectively. That is to say, for M transmit beams, the terminal selects a receive beam that the terminal considers to be best. For each different transmit beam, the best receive beam may be different. This can be understood as that the different angles of emergence of the multiple paths in a channel correspond to different angles of arrival. Here the receive beam may be reciprocated as an uplink transmit beam.

The beam transmission is further described below.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of beam transmission. As shown in FIG. 3, in the Time Division Duplexing (TDD) system in which reciprocity exists, after the above-mentioned beam training is completed, the base station may indicate which beam the base station will use for transmission, for example, the beam dl_txbeam Ni for transmission. Thus, for downlink transmission, the terminal can understand the transmission behavior of the base station. Therefore, the optimal downlink receive beam dl_rxbeam Mk corresponding to the downlink transmit beam dl_txbeam Ni may be used for reception.

For uplink transmission, when the downlink uses the transmit beam dl_txbeam Ni for transmission, the terminal considers its own optimal receive beam to be dl_rx beam Mk. The uplink transmit beam ul_tx beam Mk can be obtained by way of reciprocating the receive beam dl_rx beam Mk to the uplink. Then the base station receives by using the uplink receive beam ul_tx beam Ni that is reciprocal with the transmit beam dl_txbeam Ni.

Therefore, for the above-mentioned communication system with reciprocity, once the base station notifies the terminal of the optimal downlink transmit beam, what beam the terminal uses to perform downlink reception and what beam the terminal uses to perform uplink transmission are determined. The terminal may transmit a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), a downlink channel measurement reference signal (SI-RS), a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and an uplink Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) by using a determined beam or by using a narrower beam within a determined beam range.

Two methods are provided for indicating the downlink transmit beam to the terminal and are described below.

Method 1: A beam index is indicated by a signaling at the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The base station indicates, by using the signaling at the MAC layer, allocation of one beam to the terminal. However, switching is generally slow when beam indication is performed by the signaling at the MAC layer.

Method 2: The physical layer of the base station triggers one beam information feedback, and indicates the receive and transmit beams to the terminal on the basis of the feedback information. For example, the terminal may measure X beams and report the X beams to the base station on the basis of the beam pilots. After receiving measurement information, the base station uses the best transmit beam by default and the best transmit beam works after a delay oft time units. X is greater than or equal to 1, and t is greater than 0.

When the transmit and receive beams are configured, there may be a case where the transmit beams and the receive beams are flexibly configured according to actual application scenarios and application requirements. The following exemplarily describes several cases.

Case 1: The uplink transmission and the downlink transmission are always bound to one pair of beams through reciprocity. Therefore, the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission always have a strong binding relationship, and it is impossible to perform downlink transmission and uplink transmission using antennas in separate positions. For example, the case where the antenna spacing is large, and transmitting antenna element 1 is used to transmit in the downlink and the antenna element 2 is used to receive in the uplink often appears in a heterogeneous network. For example, a macro base station serves in the downlink and a micro base station receives in the uplink. This saves uplink terminal transmission power and achieves flexibly load balancing.

Case 2: The control channel (or signal) and the data channel (or signal) are always bound to the same beam, and the following beam selection scheme cannot be implemented: the beam of the control channel (or signal) is selected on the basis of the beam obtained from one type of pilot measurement feedback while the beam of the data channel (or signal) is selected on the basis of the beam obtained from another type of pilot measurement feedback.

Case 3: A beam can be indicated by downlink-pilot-based measurement and the beam selection result and cannot be indicated by uplink-pilot-based measurement and the beam selection result. In this way, the definition of the beam is single and not flexible and thus not applicable to various application scenarios.

Case 4: The beam of a pilot signal is bound to a data/control channel or signal, and pilot signals outside the beam range indicated by the measurement cannot be used.

Therefore, the flexibility in configuration of a transmit beam and a receive beam is greatly limited, thereby resulting in a decrease in the transmission performance of the communication system. It is to be noted that here the beam indication information may explicitly indicate information about one beam index, may indicate that the transmission manner is bound to the transmission/reception manner of a resource (for example, a time-frequency-code resource), or may indicate a spatial correlation similar to the spatial correlation of a signal and/or channel on a resource (for example, a time-frequency-code resource). The spatial correlation may be the spatial correlation of a transmit angle or an arrival angle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First Embodiment

A first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a transmission configuration method. The method is applicable to network-side equipment such as a base station. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of one embodiment of a transmission configuration method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes the followings.

In 401, a candidate transmission configuration information set is determined, where the determined candidate transmission configuration information set includes K types of transmission configuration information, and each of the K types of transmission configuration information is used for implementing transmission configuration of a signal and/or a channel, where K is greater than or equal to 1.

In an implementation, each piece of transmission configuration information in the determined candidate transmission configuration information set may be used for configuration of an uplink channel and/or a downlink channel, and/or may be used for configuration of an uplink signal and/or a downlink signal. Here the types of the uplink channel, the uplink signal, the downlink channel and the downlink channel are not limited.

In an implementation, the determined candidate transmission configuration information set includes transmission configuration information corresponding to at least two types of signals. That is, the determined candidate transmission configuration information set includes transmission configuration information in transmission association with at least two types of signals. In embodiments of the present disclosure, if a type of signal or a type of channel is in transmission association with a piece of transmission configuration information, then the transmission of this type of signal or this type of channel is configured using the transmission configuration information in transmission association with this type of signal or this type of channel. For example, if a type of signal or a type of channel has been received or sent, then “transmission association” means “the same as or similar to” a transmission strategy for receiving or sending this type of signal or this type of channel, including a sending strategy and/or a receiving strategy. In this way, the transmission configuration information can be used for the transmission of the current channel or signal. The classification criteria for signals are not limited.

To achieve a higher flexibility in transmission configuration, in one embodiment, pieces of transmission configuration information in the candidate transmission configuration information set may correspond to the same type/set of pilot signals or may correspond to different types/sets of pilot signals.

For example, the candidate transmission configuration information set is a transmission configuration information set described in Table 1.

TABLE 1 Candidate transmission configuration information set Transmission configuration Pilot type A, first set of pilots information 1 Transmission configuration Pilot type B, first set of pilots information 2 Transmission configuration Pilot type B, second set of pilots information 3 Transmission configuration Pilot type C, second set of pilots information 4

That is to say, the candidate transmission configuration information set may be in transmission association with different types of pilot signals or may be bound to different sets of pilot signals of the same type of pilot. Here the different sets of pilot signals correspond to their respective transmission configuration information.

For example, one candidate transmission configuration information set is in transmission association with two Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) sets having different configurations, or in transmission association with one CSI-RS set and one Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) set, or in transmission association with one synchronization signal set and one CSI-RS or SRS set, or in transmission association with one Beam Reference Signal (BRS) set and one CSI-RS set, or in transmission association with one BRS set and one SRS set, or in transmission association with one BRS set and one Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) set. Here the synchronization signals may be downlink synchronization signals or uplink random access signals (or referred to as uplink synchronization signals).

The candidate transmission configuration information set may be determined in the manners described below.

In the first manner, the candidate transmission configuration information set is configured by the base station by using a high-layer signaling. Here the high-layer signaling may be a protocol-layer signaling above the physical layer, such as a MAC-layer signaling and a Radio Resource Control (RRC)-layer signaling.

In the second manner, the candidate transmission configuration information set is fed back by a terminal. In an implementation, the base station may send a signaling to the terminal to instruct the terminal to determine transmission configuration information; after receiving the signaling, the terminal sends the base station a transmission configuration information set determined by the terminal.

In the third manner, the candidate transmission configuration information set is determined by information fed back by the terminal. In an implementation, when receiving the feedback information of the terminal, the base station may determine the candidate transmission configuration information set according to the feedback information.

In the fourth manner, the candidate transmission configuration information set is determined by the base station according to an uplink pilot measurement result. In an implementation, the base station receives the uplink pilot measurement result sent by the terminal, and then determines the candidate transmission configuration information set according to the uplink pilot measurement result.

In 402, at least one type of transmission configuration information is selected from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set.

By way of example, the at least one type of transmission configuration information may be selected from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set according to transmission configuration selection indication information. In practical use, the transmission configuration selection indication information may be configured by the base station by using a physical-layer signaling.

In one embodiment, at least one of uplink channels, uplink signals, downlink channels or downlink signals may be grouped; then transmission configuration information is selected, for each group of channels or signals, from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set. Correspondingly, transmitting the selected transmission configuration information to the terminal by using the signaling includes: transmitting the transmission configuration information corresponding to the each group of channels or signals to the terminal by using a separate signaling.

Several grouping manners are described below by way of example.

Grouping manner 1: A group composed of uplink control channels and downlink control channels, a group composed of downlink measurement pilot signals and uplink measurement pilot signals, and a group composed of uplink data and downlink data are formed.

Grouping manner 2: A group composed of downlink control channels, a group composed of downlink data channels, a group composed of downlink pilot signals, a group composed of uplink control channels, a group composed of uplink data channels, and a group composed of uplink pilot signals are formed.

Further, when multiple different sets of downlink pilot signals exist, the multiple different sets of downlink pilot signals may be grouped into the same group or different groups.

Further, when multiple different sets of uplink pilot signals exist, the multiple different sets of uplink pilot signals may be grouped into the same group or different groups.

Further, when multiple different sets of downlink control channels exist, the multiple different sets of downlink control channels may be grouped into the same group or different groups.

Further, when multiple different sets of uplink control channels exist, the multiple different sets of uplink control channels may be grouped into the same group or different groups.

The grouping manner may be pre-agreed by the base station and the terminal, or may be determined by the base station and then notified by the base station to the terminal. The base station may pre-configure the grouping manner for the terminal by using a high-layer signaling.

In an implementation, after grouping, different transmission configuration information may be selected, for different groups, from the candidate transmission configuration information set. Therefore, for different groups, the base station may send different signalings to the terminal to instruct the terminal to select the corresponding transmission configuration information. In this case, different signals from the base station to the terminal may be separate.

In another embodiment, this may be implemented in the manners described below.

Manner 1

Transmission configuration information is selected, for an uplink channel and a downlink channel separately, from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set; and correspondingly, transmitting the selected transmission configuration information to the terminal by using the signaling includes: transmitting the transmission configuration information corresponding to the uplink channel and the downlink channel separately to the terminal by using separate signalings.

Manner 2

Transmission configuration information is selected, for an uplink signal and a downlink signal separately, from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set; and correspondingly, transmitting the selected transmission configuration information to the terminal by using the signaling includes: transmitting the transmission configuration information corresponding to the uplink signal and the downlink signal separately to the terminal by using separate signalings.

Manner 3

Transmission configuration information is selected, for a pilot signal and a control channel separately, from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set; and correspondingly, transmitting the selected transmission configuration information to the terminal by using the signaling includes: transmitting the transmission configuration information corresponding to the pilot signal and the control channel separately to the terminal by using separate signalings.

Manner 4

Transmission configuration information is selected, for the pilot signal and a data channel separately, from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set; and correspondingly, transmitting the selected transmission configuration information to the terminal by using the signaling includes: transmitting the transmission configuration information corresponding to the pilot signal and the data channel separately to the terminal by using separate signalings.

Manner 5

Transmission configuration information is selected, for multiple types of pilot signals or multiple sets of pilot signals separately, from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set; and correspondingly, transmitting the selected transmission configuration information to the terminal by using the signaling includes: transmitting the transmission configuration information corresponding to the types of pilot signals or the sets of pilot signals separately to the terminal by using separate signalings.

Manner 6

Transmission configuration information is selected, for multiple control regions of time-frequency-code resources separately, from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set; and correspondingly, transmitting the selected transmission configuration information to the terminal by using the signaling includes: transmitting the transmission configuration information corresponding to the control regions of the time-frequency-code resources separately to the terminal by using separate signalings.

Manner 7

Transmission configuration information is selected, for multiple pieces of control information or a plurality of data information code blocks separately, from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set; and correspondingly, transmitting the selected transmission configuration information to the terminal by using the signaling includes: transmitting the transmission configuration information corresponding to the pieces of control information or the data information code blocks separately to the terminal by using separate signalings.

Manner 8

Transmission configuration information is selected, for multiple transport layers separately, from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set; and correspondingly, transmitting the selected transmission configuration information to the terminal by using the signaling includes: transmitting the transmission configuration information corresponding to the transport layers separately to the terminal by using separate signalings.

Further, after the at least one type of transmission configuration information is selected from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set, a channel and/or a signal may be received or sent according to the selected transmission configuration information.

In 403, the selected transmission configuration information is transmitted to the terminal by using a signaling.

On the basis of the first embodiment of the present disclosure, different transmission configuration information may be configured for a pilot signal and other channels (for example, a data channel or a control channel). For example, different beam transmission information is configured, so that the pilot signal can be flexibly transmitted.

Additionally, on the basis of the first embodiment of the present disclosure, different transmission configuration information may be configured for multiple control channels, multiple control blocks, multiple pieces of control information or multiple data information code blocks. For example, different beam transmission information is configured, so that the control information can be flexibly transmitted, and different robustness or transmission directions are present when different control information is transmitted.

The first embodiment of the present disclosure will be further described below by way of one example.

The candidate transmission configuration information set determined by the base station includes K types of transmission configuration information. For example, the candidate transmission configuration information set includes K types of transmission configuration information, and each type of transmission configuration information corresponds to an uplink/downlink transmit/receive beam acquired on the basis of a previous set of pilot signals or synchronization signals. The following describes an example in which K is equal to 2.

Uplink/downlink beam transmission is achieved by joint indication. In embodiments of the present disclosure, a transmission beam may be indicated for an uplink channel or signal and a downlink channel or signal separately.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating beam transmission based on transmission configuration information according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, in downlink transmission, the beam dl_tx beam N1 is used to transmit and the beam dl_rx beam M1 is used to receive; in uplink transmission, the beam ul_tx beam M2 is used to transmit and the beam ul_rx beam N2 is used to receive. Such beam transmission indication manner makes uplink transmission and downlink transmission performed in different paths, thereby saving the transmission power of the terminal and achieving uplink load balancing. That is to say, the base station can perform more flexible beam configuration, thereby better meeting the transmission requirements and improving the transmission performance of the communication system.

Here separate transmission configuration information is used in the uplink and in the downlink and thus is notified to the terminal by using separate signalings. For example, a 1-bit signaling is used to notify the downlink transmission configuration information, and another 1-bit signaling is used to notify the uplink transmission configuration information.

K may be greater than 2. When more paths exist in a channel, more paths can be used for transmission. In this case, the number of bits of the corresponding notification signaling will also increase, and is log 2(K) for each of the uplink and in the downlink.

Second Embodiment

A second embodiment of the present disclosure provides another transmission configuration method. The method is applicable to network-side equipment such as a base station.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of another embodiment of a transmission configuration method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the method includes the followings.

In 601, Q candidate transmission configuration information sets are determined, where each candidate transmission configuration information set includes at least one type of transmission configuration information, and each type of transmission configuration information is used for implementing transmission configuration of a signal and/or a channel, where Q is greater than or equal to 1.

In an implementation, this may include: determining, according to the channel type and/or the signal type, Q candidate transmission configuration information sets, where each type of channel or each type of signal corresponds to at least one candidate transmission configuration information set. For example, the above-mentioned Q candidate transmission configuration information sets are described in Table 2.

TABLE 2 Q candidate transmission Channel/signal type configuration information sets Downlink control channel Candidate transmission configuration information set 1 Downlink data channel Candidate transmission configuration information set 1, candidate transmission configuration information set 2 Downlink measurement Candidate transmission pilot signal configuration information set 1, candidate transmission configuration information set 2, candidate transmission configuration information set 3

In an implementation, the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets may include: different candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to a control channel and a data channel separately.

Alternatively, the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets may include: different candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to the data channel and a measurement pilot signal separately.

Alternatively, the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets may include: different candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to the control channel and the measurement pilot signal separately.

Alternatively, the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets may include: Q1 candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to a first type of signal, and Q2 candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to a second type of signal, where Q1 is not equal to Q2.

Alternatively, the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets may include: Q3 candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to a first type of channel, and Q4 candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to a second type of channel, where Q3 is not equal to Q4.

Alternatively, the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets may include: Q5 candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to a third type of signal, and Q6 candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to a third type of channel, where Q5 is not equal to Q6.

To achieve a simpler transmission configuration process, the same Q candidate transmission configuration information sets may be configured for each type of channel or each type of signal, and then, a candidate transmission configuration information set may be further selected for each type of channel or each type of signal by using a subsequent signaling.

In an implementation, when Q is greater than 1, the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets include: different candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to two different reference signals separately.

In an implementation, when Q is greater than 1, the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets include: different candidate transmission configuration information sets corresponding to at least two different types of signals separately. Here the two different reference signals may be different types of reference signals, or may be different sets of reference signals of the same type. For example, exemplary Q candidate transmission configuration information sets are shown in Table 3.

TABLE 3 Q candidate transmission configuration information sets Candidate transmission Pilot type A, first set of pilots configuration information set 1 Candidate transmission Pilot type B, first set of pilots configuration information set 2 Candidate transmission Pilot type B, second set of pilots configuration information set 3 Candidate transmission Pilot type C, second set of pilots configuration information set 4

That is to say, the candidate transmission configuration information set may be in transmission association with different types of pilot signals or may be bound to different sets of pilot signals of the same type of pilot. Here the different sets of pilot signals correspond to their respective transmission configuration information.

For example, one candidate transmission configuration information set is in transmission association with two Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) set having different configurations, or in transmission association with one CSI-RS set and one Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) set, or in transmission association with one synchronization signal set and one CSI-RS or SRS set, or in transmission association with one Beam Reference Signal (BRS) set and one CSI-RS set, or in transmission association with one BRS set and one SRS set, or in transmission association with one BRS set and one Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) set. Here the synchronization signals may be downlink synchronization signals or uplink random access signals (or referred to as uplink synchronization signals).

Further, when Q is greater than 1, the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets include: a candidate transmission configuration information set in transmission association with an uplink reference signal and a candidate transmission configuration information set in transmission association with a downlink reference signal; or include candidate transmission configuration information sets in transmission association with multiple types of pilot signals or multiple sets of pilot signals separately; or include a candidate transmission configuration information set in transmission association with a synchronization signal and a candidate transmission configuration information set in transmission association with a pilot signal.

Here the reference signal may be a pilot signal or a synchronization signal, the pilot signal may be a measurement pilot signal or a demodulation pilot signal, and the synchronization signal may be a random access signal.

In 602, one candidate transmission configuration information set is determined among the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets by way of selection.

When Q is equal to 1, a unique candidate transmission configuration information set is selected.

When Q is greater than 1, the transmission configuration information set may be further flexibly selected.

Further, when Q is greater than 1 and after the one candidate transmission configuration information set is determined among the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets by way of selection, the method further includes: notifying the terminal of the determined candidate transmission configuration information set. Here the determined candidate transmission configuration information set may be notified to the terminal by using a signaling, where generally, the size of the signaling may be log 2(Q) bits. Alternatively, the signaling and other indication information may be jointly coded, and then indication information generated after the joint coding is sent to the terminal.

Further, after one candidate transmission configuration information set is selected from the Q candidate transmission configuration information sets, a channel and/or a signal is received or sent according to the selected transmission configuration information.

In 603, at least one type of transmission configuration information is selected from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set.

In an implementation, at least one type of transmission configuration information may be selected from the determined candidate transmission configuration information set according to the quality feedback information of the terminal or the measurement information of an uplink signal.

In 604, the selected transmission configuration information is transmitted to the terminal by using a signaling.

After this, the transmission configuration process of the second embodiment of the present disclosure is completed. It can be seen that when Q is equal to 1, only the selected transmission configuration information needs to be sent to the terminal by using a signaling; when Q is greater than 1, both the selected candidate transmission configuration information set and the selected transmission configuration information need to be sent to the terminal by using a signaling.

On the basis of the second embodiment of the present disclosure, corresponding candidate transmission configuration information sets may also be configured for different types of reference signals. For example, corresponding beam transmission information may be configured for different types of reference signals; and corresponding transmission configuration information sets may be configured for different channels or signals. The candidate transmission configuration information set includes transmission configuration information, and the transmission configuration information is used for configuration of transmission information such as beam transmission information. Therefore, as regards the characteristics of different signals, different transmission configuration information can be used. In this way, transmission configuration information can be flexibly configured. For example, wide-beam transmission is used for a control channel and narrow-beam transmission is used for a data channel.
